Finished this tumbler quilt this weekend. It came out great..I love the fabric line, its from Moda. Cannot seem to remember the name of the fabric.
As I was handsewing on the binding I was remembering...falling asleep when I was a child hearing the humming of the sewing machine, my mother had a sewing area in our kitchen my dad built. We have talked about it and she would sew after us kids went to bed at night and she also suffered from insomnia. I am going to visit her this week in PA. Be back soon! We plan on sewing as much as possible.

I love the quilt. Such pretty colors!!! What a nice memory of your Mom too. My Mom didn't sew, and I always longed to learn. It is the first thing I bought when we married. A sewing machine from Sears.
Have a wonderful time visiting with, and sewing with, your Mama!

Gorgeous quilt! Love the colours and the clever pattern. My son remembers and loves the sound of my sewing machine for the same reason - I always sewed while he slept during the day as a baby. Enjoy your sewing with your Mom - you've reminded me I must book my own mother for one of those days soon! E x
